This recipe for sweet and savory blueberry pizza will have your eyes popping in surprise and your taste buds thanking you as you do the happy dance. I swear, this isn’t strange – it may sound a little weird but just look at that yummy blue deliciousness!
It’s blueberry season and I love being at Barrie Hill Farm to watch everyone’s excitement to climb the wagons and get into the fields to pick. This year the berries are as big as quarters and SO juicy!
We also had another Feast in the Field this week celebrating berries and it was a great success. I’ll have a separate post coming up to share photos and stories.
Ok, back to this easy deliciousness. I’ve included pancetta on this pizza but I’m sure it would be delicious without it as well if you’re vegetarian. I don’t cook pancetta very often and every time I do I’m left wondering why I don’t add it to everything, ha. I absolutely love it!
I used mini Naan because you know I’m all about quick and easy. The kids can help with this dish and each make their own. The base is simply honey and goat cheese combined topped with the red onion, pancetta and a little thyme. Bake for 12 minutes and add the blueberries for another 5 minutes and lunch is served!
I will be making these often throughout the summer because I love the look of surprise on everyone’s face when they take their first bite – fabulous!
Did you know that blueberries contain:
- blueberries are the most nutrient dense of all the berries
- the king of antioxidant foods
- reduce DNA damage which may help protect against aging and cancer
- can help maintain brain function and improve memory

You know I rarely use pancetta because I kind of forget about it but I sure do love it!
I will make this over and over while the blueberries are still available. Just loved it!

August 3, 2017 at 7:38 amI don’t think these kind of easy, peasy pizzas get enough love. We made a blackberry pizza that is out of this world delicious, and I bet this one is too! So easy and fantastic with all those plumb, delicious blueberries. Outstanding recipe and I can’t wait to try it!
